With its emphasis on simple forms, unobstructed spaces, and neutral colors, the artistic style known as minimalism has been a major influence on architecture and interior design for more than 40 years. If it is an aesthetic we most often associate with offices, minimalism also adapts to the home, as seen in this book's more than 500 full color illustrations. Here are state-of-the-art chairs and hanging soap dishes, svelte desks and streamlined cutlery, as well as a diverse array of lighting fixtures and shelves. The captions—in English, French, and German—extol the practical and artistic virtues of the furnishings, and a directory provides contact information for design firms worldwide.
